Ding Sheng's choice is completely based on realistic considerations.

In fact, from the perspective of film production and distribution, the risks and fluctuations are quite large, and even the average return on investment of the industry is lower than that of several other popular industries.

The reason why in the minds of ordinary people, there are often "this film is popular", "that blockbuster is popular", "this film has become popular again", and "this film has become popular with several stars...... , mainly because of survivorship bias. can leave an impression on the audience, even if it is a bad movie that hits the street and rushes to grandma's house, it is already a lucky one, at least it can be released in theaters. Less than one-tenth of the films produced in the world every year make it to theaters, and most of them are piled up in warehouses and moldy.

On the contrary, it is a cinema chain, and its rate of return is relatively stable. Add to that the fact that the world's population is growing, the audience is growing, and tickets are getting more expensive, so it's a great asset.

It should be said that Ding Sheng's choice is very reasonable.

However, after Jing Jian thought about it, a new idea suddenly popped up: "Ah Sheng, I have an idea, it's very immature. Let's discuss here, you are familiar with Hollywood and the Hong Kong film industry, I don't know if there is any possibility of my idea being realized. ”

The two began to discuss, and at times it became a heated argument. It wasn't until more than three hours of discussion that a preliminary result was reached, and Ding Sheng threw himself to the ground with an expression of admiration: "Jing Shao, I'm really not a sycophant, you are really a genius." ”

"Hahaha. Jing Jian smiled proudly, and he ordered, "Call Ah Liang too, I promised him that I would earn him a family business." Other cooperating people should also be notified, but the whole plan can only be known to you, not that I don't believe them, to prevent people from talking too much. ”

"Understood, Jing Shao. Oh, I almost forgot, Manager Hu of Yindu is in Yangcheng these days, and he has made an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow, Jing Shao, are you interested?"

"Let's have a meal together, right?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it. ”

“......”

The next day, Zhao Guangliang took the earliest flight to Yangcheng, he talked with Jing Jian for a whole day, and then left by plane in a happy mood......

Subsequently, Serena of the Angel Foundation, Malvern of Germany, and several senior executives of the Europa League Cinema Line received calls one after another, and they also acted together......

......

Hu Juewen is the deputy general manager of Yindu Organization, in charge of the production and distribution of films, and he is considered to be a relatively powerful one.

Yindu Organization Co., Ltd. is a Hong Kong production enterprise formed by the merger of Great Wall Film Production Co., Ltd., Phoenix Film Co., Ltd., Xinlian Film Co., Ltd., etc., and is also the only state-owned film company outside the mainland.

Therefore, some aspects are very special, for example, Yindu has its own cinema chain in Hong Kong, which consists of more than 20 cinemas and theaters. And it has been one of the largest cinema chains in Hong Kong. In particular, the cinema chain of Yindu never shows films from other film companies, but only shows films from itself or other state-owned studios in the mainland. It belongs to a relatively closed circle. And many documents that introduce the history of Hong Kong film development, it is easy to ignore this silver capital institution. But in fact, Yindu is the only Hong Kong film company that has survived since 1950. And the assets have long exceeded 3 billion. At least in the Hong Kong film industry, it has always been a very mysterious giant.

Another special feature is the release of the film. Yindu is also the only film company that produces outside the mainland, but does not need to be reviewed and approved at all, and can distribute and release in the mainland without hindrance. In other words, the films produced by Yindu institutions do not need to be reviewed, nor do they need the quota of imported films, and they can be released in cinemas in the mainland.

It can be seen that how great this advantage is, and the future development and growth of Yindu institutions is actually because of this policy. Think about it, in the future, how many overseas film companies, including those in Hollywood and Hong Kong, will be eager to fight shirtless in order to compete for an import quota.

Interestingly, however, the days of the Yindu Institution during this period were not easy. Although it has released the "Shaolin Temple" series of films, it has won a double harvest at the box office. But most of the other films are too politically didactic, and the routines are also model drama routines, and Hong Kong and Macao audiences are not willing to watch them at all, and most of them are filming a film to hit the street. Including its own theaters, there are even fewer audiences.

If it was placed in the past, it would be nothing, anyway, it mainly plays the role of a propaganda window, and it doesn't matter if you lose money or not. However, now that the reform and opening up has begun, it is necessary to pursue economic benefits, and Yindu institutions have a very important task of earning foreign exchange. However, the films they shoot are still rigidly selected, and they dare not cross the "political red line", so they have fallen into a kind of strange circle, and high-level officials like Hu Juewen are Alexander.

Therefore, this time through a meeting with friends, he made an appointment with Ding Sheng, a newly rising tycoon in the Hong Kong film industry, and Hu Juewen wanted to seek some cooperation. The most powerful thing about Ding Sheng's Seed Pictures (Hong Kong) is not in the local market in Hong Kong, but in its strong overseas distribution capabilities. In particular, the markets of North America, Western Europe and Eastern Europe, which were difficult for the Hong Kong film industry to reach, have brought a lot of overseas box office to the Hong Kong films distributed by the Hong Kong film industry.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current popularity of Hong Kong movies has surpassed another time and space, and the overseas box office has also greatly exceeded it. Of course, the salaries of Hong Kong stars are also rising, and the production cost has also increased greatly. From another point of view, it has caused the loss of Yindu institutions' films to become more and more serious.

And today, Hu Juewen wants to seek whether he can act as an agent for the distribution of some films from Yindu institutions. To be honest, if you can sell a few more dollars, it can also relieve yourself of a lot of pressure.

"Hello, Hu Sheng. ”

"Hello, Ding Sheng. Who is this ......?"

"Jing Shao. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Where did Jing Shao make his fortune?"

"Eat a bowl of rice with us. ”

"Ahh......h Is it also investing in films?"

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hu Sheng, blame me for not introducing it clearly, Jing Shao is the director. ”

"Huh?"

"Actually, you know the name as soon as you mention it. Jing Shao, I'm already very tired of introducing you! You have pity on me, Hu Sheng's old friend, don't hide aside and watch the show!"

"Hehe, Hu Sheng, Jing Jian. ”

"Jing Jian? I am a fan of your movie, and I like your "Infinity" trilogy very much. After all, he is a person in the film industry, and as soon as he heard Jing Jian's name, Hu Juewen immediately reacted. Warmly shook hands with Jing Jian, "My daughter likes your movie very much, and she must give an autograph later." ”

"Haha, it must be. Regardless of whether what Hu Juewen said was true or not, Jing Jian felt very happy after listening to his words.
